Oil Paintings by Julie Alvarado
Drawing from her experience as an artist-in-residence in Joshua Tree National Park, Julie Alvarado’s paintings of land, sky, and vegetation demonstrate a fascination with detail, whether a monumental granite rock’s undulating forms or the subtle nuances of cloud and sky. Derived from photographed details of rocky desert landscapes, Alvarado’s paintings become sensual meditations on the minute to minute experience of place.
